University Town Center
University Town Center has quickly become a premier shopping destination in Sarasota since its grand opening in 2014. With a spacious area, this expansive open-air mall provides shoppers with an unparalleled mix of luxury, fashion, dining, and entertainment options.
Shoppers flock to University Town Center for its collection of upscale stores not found elsewhere in the region. Anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, and Dillard’s, shoppers can also browse boutiques like Anthropologie, Lululemon, and Tommy Bahama. The complex houses several restaurants, a movie theater, and a hotel, offering visitors a complete day of shopping and leisure.
While considered Sarasota’s swankiest mall, University Town Center also delivers family-friendly facilities like outdoor play areas and a central lawn for community events. Seasonal festivities like live music, art fairs, and holiday celebrations aim to draw diverse crowds throughout the year. Thanks to its proximity to I-75 and location in the city’s fast-growing urban core, the University Town Center remains highly accessible to locals and visitors alike.
With its contemporary open-air promenades and blooming tropical landscape, the University Town Center replicates the feel of a resort-style shopping village right in the heart of Sarasota. As new dining and entertainment venues continue opening amid the existing retail mix, University Town Center solidifies itself as an unparalleled retail and lifestyle epicenter in southwest Florida.
